Vegetable oil spill slows Route 206 traffic

FRANKFORD — State police from the Augusta station were on the scene of a vegetable oil spill Saturday morning on Route 206, warning drivers to slow down.

Troopers reported that because the spill was of vegetable oil, there were no hazardous materials, but the road was slick for a time until a state Department of Transportation crew could respond to lay down a layer of sand.

While traffic was backed up as drivers went slowly over the spill area, troopers said there were no detours around the spill in the area of Kemah Lake Road. Police did not say how the spill occurred.
